I love y'all. There is such community in blogging, from blogging friends to my best girlfriends to friends of friends who read my blog...I love how we all support each other as women. Thank y'all (with my whole heart!) for your kind texts, emails, messages, and comments regarding my post yesterday. Wow! You are a reminder of how important it is to keep things real, raw, and relevant as well as a testament to this:

My morning went so much better when I chose joy despite waking up six (!) times last night with a crying baby, started the day by opening the Bible (and laughed at how SRT mirrored my thoughts--a "God wink" at its best!) for the first time in the morning in several weeks, felt thankful for my warm coffee with organic half and half and a stevia in the raw (I literally felt thankful for every ingredient), my sweet family, and just sat there for a few moments counting my blessings. There is so much to be said about starting the day with gratefulness. I'm preaching to myself here! :) Much like love is a choice instead of an emotion, joy is also, and I'm going to keep on choosing it.

And since I declared how behind I was on things (insert blonde girl flipping hair emoji), a friend of mine sent me some BEAUTYCOUNTER products to try. I still have yet to try them, but I am already digging their values and ingredients used (and not used) as a company! Their mission is simple yet full of passion: to get safe products into the hands of everyone. Have y'all tried BEAUTYCOUNTER?
Doxie and Amelia love pumpkin treats something fierce. These from our friends at chewy.com are organic and literally look like golden grahams. I'm pretty sure a human could eat them and not bat an eyelash, but I haven't tried. (However, my sister and I did ponder serving them to Mark and Spyros for a snack while we were in the mountains last weekend just to see if they'd notice. We didn't do it. But the thought crossed our minds.)

You might've seen this photo on Instagram, and I can't wait to show you more of them soon! (Cameron Faye Photography knocked it out of the park again! :)) Will you please vote for Nancy's nursery just one more time? I promise it's the last time I'll ask/remind! The contest ends Saturday. Then I'll hush!! This is just my favorite space in our home. The love in that room is tangible and brings me to praise Him and pray for our family with fervor daily.

Halloween is tomorrow! I am never really into Halloween, but Nancy's costume has me all excited this year. She doesn't have an opinion in the matter yet, so Mark and I got thoroughly enjoyed choosing a costume for her. And my cute hubby might've even suggested coordinating outfits for the two of us that we'll be wearing as well. AHHHHH I can't wait. Things like this are so much more fun with kiddos. Stay tuned, or check out my Instagram later this weekend for our silly little fam!
FRIDAY means I'm linking up with...5 on Friday: Darci, April, Christina, + Natasha | Friday Favorites: A Little Bit of Everything, Momfessionals, + Grace and Love | Oh Hey, Friday: September Farm + The Farmer's Wife
